Mommy & Daddy are getting ready...

Hello,

I'm here to give you an update of what's been going on during the last couple of weeks...

Mommy has been to the doctor twice already since the last message I posted... Both times the doctor did the "non-stress" test that basically monitors my heart... Doctor says heart beat is normal and strong... Also, he mentioned that I'm starting to get in position (facing down) which apparently is called lightning and can cause mild discomfort/pain to Mommy... She's going to see Dr. Edes once a week now, for the next few weeks, just to make sure everything is going accordingly...

Last week Mommy & Daddy went to a big store to get some stuff for me.. I guess they bought a crib, and changing table and a playpen, stroller, car seat... and all the things they'll be needing to make me comfortable... THANK YOU!!

Yesterday, they had a very nice lady come to their house to teach them all about birth & labor... They watched some videos and talk to her about breathing, labor positions, comforting techniques and they did some exercises as well... They were very happy they took the class, and mentioned that they felt a little better about the whole process...

Mommy is thinking about taking an Infant's CPR class.. which they recommend when having a baby at home...

Until next time,

love you,

So much has happened!!

Hello,

I haven't written anything for a while, so get comfy because this is going to be a long one!

On March 7th, Mommy had her Baby Shower... My Grandma Guille and my Auntie Brenda helped prepare all the food and made sure this event was a success... Auntie Tracy brought a delicious carrot cake, it was a hit... Lots of very nice ladies came, played games, ate good food and overall had a great time... They are all Mommy's and Daddy's friends and brought really nice gifts for me... THANK YOU!! I can't wait to wear all those cute outfits and to play with my toys, or sit on my bouncer and swing!!!

On Tuesday March 10th, Mommy went visit the doctor.
They checked my heart beat for the first time, so they put a belt on Mommy's tummy and printed a piece of paper with some funny lines on it... Doctor said that my heart beat is normal and healthy...

Also, her Dr. did an ultrasound to see me... even though I didn't showed my face, they were able to see my brain, spine, heart and even my private parts... mmmm, I'm not letting Mommy show you those pictures... From now on Mommy has to go to see the doctor once a week just to make sure that there's enough amniotic fluid around me and that I'm going the right direction... (my head is already down)...

Mommy and Grandma already started organizing my closet... I can't believe all those cute outfits are mine!! I hope they all fit... Daddy is getting the crib in the next few days and I'm sure they'll start setting up my room... although I'll be sleeping in their room for the first few months...

So, apparently there's still so much for them to do... In two weeks they have the "birth class" and will take a tour of the hospital...

and let the countdown begin....

'til next time,
